Well, election season is finally over, winter is closing in, and at the city we are busy preparing for that four-letter word: SNOW. If you’re anything like my family, you are gathering supplies for the cold months ahead. Lyndhurst is doing the same. The pools and parks have been made ready, we’ve picked up most of the leaves, our salt bin is full, and the plows are sharpened and ready. So as the saying goes, bring it on—but a nice, mild winter would be nice.

As the holiday season fast approaches, the Fire Department has included some common-sense ideas in this issue of our newsletter. To ensure a safe and happy holiday for you and your family, please take the time to review the article.

We are all very fortunate to reside in Lyndhurst, the amenities and services are tremendous. There are many local organizations and clubs that are
available to you. In the new year, please consider becoming involved in your home town. Being involved in your community is one of the best ways to
keep it vibrant and healthy. I encourage you to look into any organization that will contribute to the community and yourself.

My wife Sue and I and our entire family wish you a very happy holiday season and a wonderful new year.
